It's scary to build something and show it to the world; and I couldn't be more grateful for all of the positive comments, the constructive criticisms, and the silent ballers that gave Ballest a shot this week. Thank you. Now, here's what changed this week. If you want to see the patch notes as I push updates, please join us in the Discord: General: Added a first-time user "How To" controls graphic Adjusted the respawn camera angle Increased leaderboard preview to top100 Leaderboard now refreshes automatically after you get a new high score Controller buffs: I didn't test the controller experience nearly enough going into the demo, but I think it's on par with KBM for gameplay, now. Menu navigation still has a ways to go. Gameplay: Added separate controller inputs for forward/back, left/right. Added a "Center camera" input to redirect the camera towards your movement direction Increased
